The efficacy of an oily calcium hydroxide suspension (Osteoinductal) as an adjunct to periodontal regenerative therapy has been demonstrated in recent clinical and histological studies. However, little is known about the molecular mechanisms in vitro, particularly, about the effect of oily calcium hydroxide paste on periodontal ligament (PDL) cells. Therefore the aim of the present study was to...

Direct pulp capping is one of the most common dental practices in endodontic therapy. This systematic review and meta-analysis aim to determine whether the effect of mineral trioxide aggregate (MTA) and calcium hydroxide for direct pulp capping is different, as measured by the clinical and radiographic analysis. The study list was obtained by searching PubMed, Springer Link, Scopus and Cochrane...

introduction: the aim of this study was to evaluate the effects of remnant root canal medicament, calcium hydroxide on the short and long term sealing ability of mineral trioxide aggregate (mta) apical barrier. materials & methods: fifty single-rooted teeth were prepared and apical resorptions were made using sulfuric acid. the teeth were allocated into two experimental groups and two control g...

This study was performed to verify the possibility of MTA and calcium sulfate as a pulp capping agent through comparing the dental pulp response in dogs after capping with MTA, calcium sulfate, and calcium hydroxide. 24 teeth of 2 dogs, 8 month old, were used in this study. Under general anesthesia, cervical cavities were prepared and pulp was exposed with sterilized #2 round bur in a high spee...

Five disinfectant chemicals were tested individually for effectiveness against low pathogenic avian influenza virus (LPAIV), A/H7N2/Chick/MinhMa/04, on hard, nonporous surfaces. The tested agents included acetic acid, calcium hydroxide, sodium carbonate, sodium hydroxide, and a powdered laundry detergent without bleach. Multiple common chemicals including acetic acid (1 and 3%), sodium hydroxid...

Literature review The primary function of calcium hydroxide as a routine intracanal medicament is to provide antimicrobial activity. However, the mechanisms of antimicrobial activity of calcium hydroxide are not well known. Physicochemical properties of this substance may limit its effectiveness in disinfecting the entire root canal system. In addition, calcium hydroxide is not effective agains...
